An intercept is a point where a line crosses an axis on a coordinate plane. The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.
1. What is the value of y at the x-intercept?
2. What is the value of x at the y-intercept?
3. A horizontal line has an x-intercept.
True
False
4. A vertical line has a y-intercept.
True
False
5. The point where a line crosses the x-axis is called the .
6. The point where a line crosses the y-axis is called the .
